“Hello? What is it, Gerald?” asked Old Flint from the other side of the line.
“Old Flint, while I know you can’t let us join the investigation, I hope you can still help us out. Essentially, if you want to solve the case and capture the Ember Lord, listen closely and believe me when I say that everything that I’m about to tell you is going to be extremely important!” replied Gerald in a serious tone.
Hearing that, Old Flint paused for a moment. Eventually, however, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com could trust Gerald, so favonovel.com was willing to risk it. After all, both of them wanted the case to be solved and have the Ember Lord be captured.
“…Alright, tell me how I can help!”
“Head to the Census Bureau now. I’m currently heading over as well, and I’ll tell you more about it when we meet!” replied Gerald before hanging the call up.
Half an hour later, Rey and Gerald met up with Old Flint at the assigned venue.
“What are we even here for, Gerald…?” asked the confused old man.
“Look, I need you to do a background check on the Ember Lord as well as his family, and not just his parents either. I need you to thoroughly research anyone related to his parents as well!” ordered Gerald without giving so much as an explanation as to why.
Even so, Old Flint knew that Gerald must have his reasons for asking for that. With that in mind, the old man then said, “…Copy that!”
Shortly after, Old Flint then entered the bureau. Gerald needed the old man’s help since only someone with his credibility was allowed to access and retrieve the information and profiles of others…
It was about an hour later when Old Flint finally exited the bureau with a thick stack of papers.
Getting into the car, favonovel.com then handed the papers to Gerald before saying, “Here’s everything about the Ember Lord and his family, including the information about his parents and grandparents!”
Hearing that, Gerald immediately began scanning through the documents, his reading speed faster than someone skimming across the pages of a book.
With how serious Gerald was, Old Flint couldn’t help but ask, “…What exactly did you discover, Gerald…?”
Gerald, however, simply ignored the old man and continued breezing through the papers… until eventually, Gerald stopped.
Pulling out a file that was labeled, ‘Yamilet Faes’, favonovel.com then showed it to Old Flint.
Yamilet Faes was none other than the Ember Lord’s grandmother. Even so, favonovel.com passed away about three years ago. Everything in the file was information from about two years ago…
“…Am… I supposed to understand something from this…?” asked the puzzled old man.
Following that, Gerald immediately stated Yamilet Fae’s address before saying, “Rey, check if the coordinates of the address match the numbers left behind by the Ember Lord!”
Hearing that, Rey quickly took his tablet out and began searching for the address… and sure enough, once the results came out, the numbers left by the Ember Lord truly seemed to be the coordinates of his grandmother’s home!
“You… You’re right! The numbers are exactly the same!” exclaimed Rey as favonovel.com looked at Gerald and Old Flint.
Hearing that, Gerald and Old Flint exchanged glances with each other. They finally knew what the numbers represented!
